I wish mastodon instance admins would consider very carefully the consequences of their actions, and actually investigate abuse reports instead of just suspending accounts.

if you're not willing to properly investigate an abuse report, you shouldn't run an instance or participate as a moderator on one.

with schestowitz banned, many people who contribute to FOSS are now more worried about using mastodon instances and will likely migrate back to gnu social instances.

ironically, this is exactly what i warned about when describing why the block system needed to be redesigned (as it was in mastodon-hardened).

a moderator at mastodon.technology looked at one single post and made their entire decision based on this post, and now people who were starting to believe that mastodon was good are now retreating back to using the old GNU Social/StatusNet software.

i don't know what the solution is, but i am disappointed that the mastodon.technology admins decided to do this, all it does is create problems with getting things off OStatus and onto the much more secure ActivityPub.

the mastodon.technology admin team is banning people for no reason, that is truly amazing stuff.

it is also a good example that the only way to guarantee freedom of expression in a federated network is to run your own node.

@schestowitz

oh i read your blog.

i don't think that's the software's fault, as much as it is some of the admins who run instances which bring the "traditional IRC" mentality to them.

there is a culture of toxicity, which in combination with inexperienced admins, creates constant problems.

@schestowitz

mastodon kickout? what happened?

@samis

I'm sorry, I should have clarified, one that *does not look like ass*

Pondering writing a Matrix client with Qt.

@rook

i believe the free market will demonstrate why comcast and verizon are shitty companies, especially in the wake of alternatives like community-owned fibre popping up everywhere

@staticsafe WHAT DOES THE SONG EVEN MEAN?!!!?!

@rook

besides Comcast and Verizon i really doubt anyone cares about "premium traffic"

@Elizafox @deadsuperhero

what about BSDM?

i'm not seeing how plasma balls take 1000 lines of code in any language to implement, even with it being multi-segment

@elomatreb it literally just draws plasma balls to the terminal

"Ternimal is also an exercise in minimalism and restraint. Written in just 1000 lines of Rust, it has no dependencies and consumes very few resources: 400 kB on disk, 3 MB of RAM and 4 % of a single CPU core with the default parameters."

... they call this minimalism? wtf?

@elomatreb no, not really

why the fuck is this a thing: electrically grounded sheets for your bed

@ben @Gargron my concern is simply removing the sql queries for blocks. in reality i think they are redundant (at least in mastodon-hardened) because the message processing evaluates blocks
